Wine Description

(From 2012 Vintage)
Anthony Giglio
While the racy label may grab your attention, what’s inside the bottle will keep it. With Zinfandel,
Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, Ménage à Trois brings Bordeaux and California together in one
sexy, silky red. This blend offers something special from each grape, with deep, jammy blackberry

It’s easy drinking, food friendly and unquestionably fun.

hot summer day.
Mark Oldman:
Three is not a crowd when you see how this medium-to full-bodied red combines the unlikely
partners of Merlot, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. Juicy, ripe strawberries and blackberries
mix in a swirl of generous fruit, with a bit of vanilla and the slightest touch of tannin present to
quicken the pulse. The finish is complex, well integrated and velvety. This selection is a natural
choice for summer cocktail parties and cookouts.
